John Barry - Diamonds Are Forever OST

John Barry - Diamonds Are Forever OST

For the fans of this classic James Bond soundtrack, thirty years of waiting is finally over. The fantastic but pitifully incomplete original soundtrack album from Diamonds Are Forever has finally been replaced by this complete CD. Every note of music in the film, as well as some that is not, is carried with astonishingly rejuvenated sound. It is crisp, clear, and packs real punch. The result is indefatigably excitable. The song, written with Don Black for the inimitable Shirley Bassey, is one of the greatest. Barry's themes are vivid, his action themes white hot, his lounge music sublime, his source music imaginative. Quite apart from those Barry scores which see the composer develop perhaps two or three themes, Diamonds Are Forever contains a myriad of content and styles.
